Water use in Construction Camps
Construction camps usually house the workforce of remote manufacturing sites, mining, and oil and gas sites. The workers live in these mobile cities and require kitchens, housing, and other basic facilities. The majority of water used in work camps is used for bathroom and kitchen applications. Water is also used on washbays and on-site. Enviroconcepts can assist in providing a solution.

Rainwater harvesting
Rainwater collected from downpipes and gutters can be used without treatment for irrigation, washing vehicles, and flushing toilets. Treated rainwater can be used for drinking and showering. In work camps, it can also be used in Laundry or heating systems. Rainwater harvesting allows us to store water above or below ground and enhance a building’s sustainability initiatives. Our multi-stage units purify water and are designed for easy operation with minimal maintenance requirements.
Potable water
Water suitable for human consumption or potable water has acceptable characteristics as defined by the Australian drinking water guidelines.
